How is the iPhone 15 Pro Max regarding performance and battery?

This is your interpretation, which is unfortunately not correct. I would NEVER EVER suggest people can't list their concerns or issues with their phone here. Anyone is welcome too. I find it odd that you seem to have an issue with me saying my phone is trouble free, but both of our phones are and have been since day one. It's good for people to see that not everyone is having issues. And it's fine to see some are having issues. But look at this thread. It was opened on November 12th. And now over 4 months later, it has only 3 pages of comments. This is the most visited, highly visible and used forum for and about iPhone, in the world. If the majority of users were having issues out of the millions upon millions of iPhone 15 models sold and being used, one might think this thread would be far bigger. But it's not and that's likely because most people aren't having issues.

I'm sorry if you are having any issues with your phone, but I stand by my commentary.

I'm having the freezing issue with mine. I had hoped that iOS 17.3 would fix it, but it didn't.

I'm also finding that the screen is incredibly sensitive, I've adjusted the haptic touch to slow and the

hold duration to 2 seconds, but it's still too sensitive. I'm a bit disappointed. . . . . . .

ps: years ago, I had an iPhone 6 (not a plus) there was an update that made the screen so sensitive that you didn't even have to touch it, just pass your finger close to the screen, when trying to compose a text or

email the phone would add random letters, and even whole words, the phone was almost unusable, however another update a few days later fixed the problem. I'm hoping that Apple will be able to correct both the freezing and sensitive screen soon.

I’ve been having these same

isssues with my iPhone 13. I think they are directly related to the iOS updates. They were not present before that.

I bought one today. I asked if it had issues and they said no. The worst phone I ever had. I have to say that I am switching from an 8 pro.. My 8 holds battery charge just the same, it is way faster and has less issues. Google wont open and the worst is.. I am big into music- slurs the songs so bad i didnt know how to stop it faster!

Not responding to apps, and google won't open....I am returning it along with the charger I bought just for it!

Because you don’t have any issues with your phone, we should

all shut up?

The issues with my phone are real, they’re not in my imaginations.

I bought a $1,200 phone that has issues. My previous iPhone

XR worked perfectly (I should have kept it)

There isn’t any “hysteria” just people who are disappointed in

a (very expensive) product they bought, hoping the problems be corrected.

Your comment “There are now millions upon millions of people with iPhone 15 models

who are happily using them not posting on any public forums about their phones

at all.” certainly implies that those of us with phone problems shouldn’t complain.

lobsterghost1 didn't tell you to shut up, or suggest you're problems weren't real or use the very sexist term "hysteria". They have just as much right to share their experiences here as you do. The fact that you disagree with them doesn't make it right for you to be rude and unpleasant.

"Other people don't have this problem" ≠ "your problem isn't real".

I've found that time spent on this forum (and life in general) is far more pleasant and productive if I don't spend it looking for reasons to get angry at people. I try to assume that people's intentions are good.

Just bought new IPhone 15 pro max coupl of days ago. It is not charging properly. Either start charging about 10 minutes after connecting the cable and it also keep disconnecting. Never expected this from Apple.

I Haven’t had any issues with the battery either. Battery life is very good, however I am having other issues. The phone regularly freezes, it spontaneously scrolls and swipe and it has very poor connectivity to public WiFi. My previous phone, an iPhone XR preformed much better. I think I’ll go as far as to say my 15 Pro Max stinks. I was hoping that iOS 17.4 would fix my issues, but it didn’t. ps: I’m not hysterical.

can we return the phone and get refund? how does it works?

If you purchased the phone from Apple within the last 14 days, you can return it. If you bought it from somewhere else, you'll need to contact that retailer

If you're beyond the return period, contact Apple to have then evaluate your device:

That sounds like a failing touch screen, something no update will fix. Contact Apple and arrange to have them run diagnostics.

In addition to poor photo quality, I’ve also experienced the following issues you listed.

• Unable to hear the phone ring as the ringer readjusts itself to the off position.
• This phone drops calls.
• WiFi automatically switches from on to off.
• Issue with apps not responding.
• Issues with texting where it pauses and I’m unable to send the text.

Hi, I am 5 weeks in owning my IPhone 15 pro max and I am ready to throw it out on the road so I can have the satisfaction of watching someone run over it. It’s horrible, I have had iPhones since the beginning this is the worst phone I have ever owned. I have been on to apple and they suggested a reset a week ago which I did, but still having issues. They are.

1. phone freezing all the time in apps (have to restart phone each time)
2. phone is overheating mainly when I am talking on it (so hot I have to put down)
3. connection issues, so much so my mail is coming in 2 and 3 days later. (Have reinstalled mail apps)
4. photos are a huge problem and when I am in my go pro app or snap bridge app, sometimes just in photos as well, they freeze
5. A new one today every time I open Facebook there is the Sam song on, my music is not on, no songs are playing, close Facebook the music stops, then open it again it starts again, the song is not in my phone
6. photos won’t send in my message app. Says count send.

I have reset the phone to factory settings. I have updated the apps over and over. I absolutely am at my wits end. Ringing apple again tomorrow

Mine (iphone 15 promax) would show pink screen when using apps and sometimes even outside the apps. Brought it to an apple official repair center and after 1 week they sent it back to me only to encounter the same problem. I’m asking them to just replace the whole unit still waiting for their update on it. Bought my unit december 29, 2023.
